LINE 1:
Gross Compensation as reported on W-2: Use PA State Wages: W-2 Box 16 (if W-2 has PA in Box 15).
In most cases, PA calculates state taxable wages based on W-2 Box 5 (Medicare Wages), plus W-2 Box 10 (Dependent Care Benefi ts,
if any), minus the amount(s) in W-2 Box 12 (Code C and/or Code Y only; if zero, then use fi gure from Box 5). If you are claiming out-of-
state tax credits, calculate PA taxable wages using the above formula. Do not use the fi gure in W-2 Box 1.
Note: If the calculation of PA state wages differs from the state wages listed on your PA W-2 in Box 16, use the above formula to report
wages on Line 1 of the tax form and notify your employer; do not use the figure listed on your PA W-2 in Box 18 to report taxable wages
on Line 1 of the tax form. If the calculation of PA state wages differs from the state wages listed on your PA W-2 in Box 16, due to
restricted stock units, use state wages Box 16 and include supporting documentation.
Documentation Required: Enclose Form W-2 and any other form indicating compensation received. Do not photocopy or print more than
one W-2 on the same page. Do not staple.

the income figure accordingly), jury duty pay, military pay for services other than active duty, sick pay (if employee received a regular
salary during period of sickness or disability by virtue of agreement of employment), and taxes assumed by the employer. Restricted
stock units are taxable at time of vesting. Benefi ts accruing from employment (such as: annual leave, vacation, holiday, separation,
sabbatical leave, dependent care benefits and compensation received in the form of property), shall be taxed at fair market value at the
time of receipt. Deferred compensation typically is taxable at the time and place of receipt, unless taxed previously. Some forms of early
withdrawal from retirement programs are taxable (use cost-recovery method; submit PA Schedule W-2S). Stock options are taxable at
the time of exercise. Refer to the PA Department of Revenue regulations regarding taxable compensation. This list is not exhaustive.
